EU dockers' protest turns violent
Police in Strasbourg have used tear gas
and water cannon to disperse dock
workers who marched to the European
Parliament in a mass protest.
Protesters threw firecrackers, stones
and metal missiles, smashing windows
and causing "considerable damage".
The dockers, from across the EU, had
converged on Strasbourg to protest at
controversial proposals to open up port
services to greater competition.
Elsewhere, strike action disrupted work
at major ports from Greece to Sweden.
